We each have power, influence, and responsibility. You're spending yours on cleverness, and wasting others by shifting the focus and undermining their efforts. Cleverness, in the end, doesn't matter.

Upton Sinclair didn't waste it.

i certainly don't want to use my cleverness for power or influence, no thank you.
I'm not talking about being power hungry, but pulling our weights in the world.
